Posted by mommatrauma: "I think it was a punctuation error...ie "I asked her to stop, (insert comma) thinking this was something a nurse should do." I don't think it was meant that only nurses should think.." That does sound better. However, believe it or not, about 6 months ago we got a new ED Clinical Educator, she actually said to one of our ED Techs/ Paramedics " Techs are not to think. They are only to do what the nurse tells them."...?!? Thats why I asked. The OP made me afraid I was seeing a trend.
